and send your fears away.
News from the region of the sky,
comes down to dwell with you.
Today he makes his entrance here,
comes down to dwell with you.
Today he makes his entrance here,
No gold nor purple swaddling bands
nor royal shining things,
A manger for his cradle stands
and holds the King of kings.
And see his humble throne,
With tears of joy in all your eyes,
Go shepherds, kiss the sun.
And see his humble throne,
With tears of joy in all your eyes,
Though shepherds gaze the sun.
Thus Gabriel sang, and strayed around
The heavenly armies' throng.
They tuned their hearts to lofty sound,
And thus conclude the song.
Glory to God that reigns above,
Let peace surround the earth,
Mortals shall know their Maker's love,
And their Redeemer's birth.
Glory to God that reigns above,
Let peace surround the earth,
Mortals shall know their Maker's love,
And their Redeemer's birth.
Lord, and shall angels have their song,
And men no tunes to raise,
O may we lose these useless tongues
When they forget to praise.
Glory to God that reigns above,
We join to sing our Maker's love,
for there's a Saviour born.
Glory to God that reigns above,
We join to sing our Maker's love,
For there's a Savior born.
